Default General Guide to Broadhead Selection...

There's alot questions regarding "what's the best head for my setup". I thought, perhaps, a sticky including a general guide, based on KE, could be used as a quick reference. The intent is not to debate on what brand of heads are the best, but what design one should be using. This is what I think. Feel free to chime in, as quite a few of you have more hunting experience under you belt than me. I would like this to be a team effort, if possible. The game targeted here is whitetail deer.

1. Low Kinetic Energy (less than 45lbs KE): Cut on contact heads such as Stingers, Montecs, and Muzzy Phantoms. Small, low profile replaceable blade heads such as the Wasp Boss Bullet as well. Keep cutting diameter under 1 1/8 inch.
2. Moderate Kinetic Energy (45-55lbs KE): Full sized "old school" replaceable blade heads like the Thunderhead. Smaller mech heads up 1 1/4" and no more than three blades.
3. High Kinetic Energy (55+): Big cut mechanicals such as Rage and NAP Spitfires can be used.
